What language is that?

But that's wrong:

# Ruby

for x in (0..100)
  puts x
end

0.upto(100) do | i |
    sum += some_array[i]
end
[/coder]


It's just an extremely ugly way of iterating.

Think about what an iteration does:

Are you just reapeating something 100 times? Or do you need each element of a collection? 

Then why using an artificial variable for it?

Well, fug.
Let's try it again:

[code}
# Ruby

for x in (0..100)
puts x
end

0.upto(100) do | i |
sum += some_array[i]
end
[/code]
